Good afternoon,
Young Living Training and Education posted this today and it is too good not to share. I know from past experience it is always a question of where to apply topically. So please bear with me I am really not trying to bombard you with my blogs but here we go.
Using essential oils topically is one of the most popular ways to utilize their benefits in your everyday life. Have you ever wondered, “Where should I apply this essential oil?” The answer is different for everyone, because we each have different physical and emotional needs, and all of our bodies are genetically and chemically different. This guide features some simple application points for essential oils. We recommend diluting your essential oil with V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or a carrier oil before topical application if you are new to essential oils, have sensitive skin, or are applying on children.
From head to toe, here are some of our favorite oils to use:
Crown of head: Apply oils here for an aroma that can help transform your mood and create a balanced environment. Sacred Frankincense, Abundance, Clarity, Release, Highest Potential.
